    “We really enjoyed our time at Jenever, the property itself had a really positive modern feel but with the character of the lakes and all it has to offer.”

    Inside we found the decor, rooms and facilities to a very high standard, the location is ideal (despite the uphill walk to keep you fit) with a 10 minute walk to the town centre. It was particularly enjoyable to open the window or patio door and listen to the stream and people ambling past in a morning with a lovely view across the woods * One element that I have shared is about the bathroom, the power of the shower is a great plus, however unfortunately due to the design it means the water ...

    Inside we found the decor, rooms and facilities to a very high standard, the location is ideal (despite the uphill walk to keep you fit) with a 10 minute walk to the town centre. It was particularly enjoyable to open the window or patio door and listen to the stream and people ambling past in a morning with a lovely view across the woods * One element that I have shared is about the bathroom, the power of the shower is a great plus, however unfortunately due to the design it means the water leaks out onto the flooring area very quicky & we required additional towels to stew the tide & ensure the tiles do not get ruined. This may be something that can be easily fixed

    - Jonathan, October 2025

    Dear Jonathan Thank you for your feedback and we are delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Jenever Cottage and appreciated the charm that we lovingly installed to the property. I hope that you choose to stay again at the property. We have noted your feedback with regard to the shower. It is a powerful shower but we have not experienced or heard from other guests about the ‘flooding’. We think that the shower drain may need cleaning. I have asked maintenance to clean it and hopefully this will sort the problem out. Thanks again for letting us know. Best wishes Danielle & Eric Property Owner

The property

Jenever Cottage is a lovely three-storey property resting in the prestigious Falls area on the outskirts of Ambleside, Cumbria.

Located in the heart of the Lake District National Park and with proximity to countless towns and villages for day trips this home is a wonderful choice to explore the tourist attractions of the Lakes.

After a day of high-level fell walks, put your feet up in the first-floor sitting room, open up the balcony doors to let in the fresh breeze of the countryside, or take some drinks outside and enjoy the last of the evening sun surrounded by your loved ones.

The kitchen/diner is appointed with everything you could need for a break away, including a washer/dryer if your adventures take off on a muddier route.

Head to the second floor and discover the beautifully-presented bedrooms for you to rest in, along with a bathroom you can freshen up in ahead of your adventures.

Outdoor enthusiasts will find many walks from the door and down the hill towards Stockghyll, an area of pretty woodland and cascading waterfalls.

Ambleside is close by and retains a unique atmosphere whilst offering a range of independent shops, numerous cafés, pubs, restaurants and two cinemas for those rainy days.

Take yourself further afield and enjoy the stunning scenery on the Windermere cruisers before jumping off and exploring the quintessential villages of Bowness and Ulverston.

A stay at Jenever Cottage promises a delightful retreat, at any time of year.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

About the location

AMBLESIDE

Grasmere 4.4 miles; Windermere 4.7 miles; Keswick 16.7 miles.

Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and numerous shops, restaurants and pubs in the village to suit all tastes. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst a walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.
